Excellent comments, Ian, and thoroughly endorsed by me. LOVE Enoteca Vanni, especially the cavernous cellars. Some excellent restaruants at different price points in Montepulciano, too.Ian S wrote: ↑Wed Jan 08, 2025 12:42 am Montepulciano is possibly the easiest location, as (rarely for Italy) there are a lot of drop-in tasting rooms in the centre, but you can also make appointments (typically at the out of town ones).
In Lucca, Enoteca Vanni is superb. The small shopfront isn't particularly exciting, but the interest ramps up when you stroll out back into their cave, with lots of old bottles. Some prices for these are a bit elevated, but it's a place that's a lot of fun to rummage around for something that appeals and feels like value.
Both these locations have a strong draw outside of wine, if fellow travellers aren't as enthused about wine as yourself.
